Well, it changes after you start to use them. With enough experience, you’ll start to think that, “I don’t like this feature that much, how would it be this way?”, and there is probably already a WM that does it.
I started using WMs long ago but my first tiling WM was i3 as well. However configuring it to the way I like was taking a lot of time, so I was in a search for a WM that does what I like out of the box. After searching I have found bspwm. It is still my go-to WM if I use Xorg, but I moved to Wayland recently and Hyprland was the easy choice. Though currently I’m reading river’s documentation and I’m thinking to switching to it when I feel ready. From what I read, it can do what I want, with enough configuring. And it seems really flexible.
